New website for Islamic lectures

"Do you ever find yourself having a difficult time searching for an amazing lecture you heard on YouTube or Google Video? Did you remember the speaker but forgot the title of the speech they gave? Well have no fear, because Halal Tube is here! (Yeah that was corny, I know.)"

This website is just starting but it already has a whole bunch of Islamic lectures by amazing scholars: everyone from Anwar Al Awlaki to Zakir Naik.

Muslamics?

The term Muslamics is a cross between Muslims and Islamics, and makes light of the many erroneous labels placed upon Muslims.

As Muslims living in America, we are part of a daily struggle to define ourselves and forge new identities, at a time when our community, and specifically Muslim activists, are in the limelight. Part of this struggle is to reclaim our language.

We are proud to be Muslims and we believe it is part of our duty to convey to others who we are and what we stand for. Therefore, we will take the name Muslamics - originally used as a derogatory term against Muslims - and expose the ignorance behind it, as well as give it a new and positive meaning.
